Synergistic Support for Heart and Skeletal Health

Research shows that vitamins D3 and K2 — two key nutrients for effective calcium utilization in the body — can have an even more beneficial effect when taken together. Swanson Vitamins D3 & K2 offers these bone and heart-healthy nutrients in a convenient, one-a-day veggie capsule. The combination of these vitamins helps support both the heart and skeleton by ensuring proper calcium distribution in the body.

Contains Lower Doses of Vitamins D and K to Complement Your Supplement Regimen

Whether you are already supplementing with vitamins D and K or getting them from your diet, Swanson now offers a low dose D3 & K2 combination specifically for you. Swanson Low Dose Vitamins D3 & K2 provides 50 mcg (2,000 IU) vegan D3 derived from lichen and 75 mcg soy-free K2 from chickpeas as MK-7 in a daily veggie capsule to help maintain heart health and promote strong, healthy bones.

Soy-Free K2 Delivered as MK-7 for Improved Bioavailability

Vitamin K exists in forms K1 and K2. K2 is particularly important for bone and heart health as it helps redirect calcium from the arteries to the bones. K2 consists of a series of menaquinones, of which menaquinone-7 (MK-7) is the most effectively absorbed and bioavailable. Swanson uses soy-free K2 delivered as MK-7, ensuring that you get the maximum absorption and benefit from the supplement.

Convenient One-a-Day Capsule

For simplicity, Swanson has developed this product as a convenient one-a-day capsule. This makes it easier to integrate into your daily routine without having to remember multiple doses or various supplements. Simple and effective for long-term health support.

Vegan and Allergen-Friendly Formulation

Swanson Vitamins D3 & K2 is entirely vegan and free from common allergens like soy. This makes the product suitable for a broader group of people, including those with specific dietary restrictions or allergies. The product is also made with high-quality ingredients to ensure maximum effectiveness and safety.

Research on D3 and K2

New understanding of the interaction between vitamins D and K suggests that vitamin D increases the concentration of bone proteins that are dependent on vitamin K for healthy bone formation. Conversely, the crucial mineralization stimulated by vitamin K can be positively influenced by the presence of vitamin D. A study published in the "Journal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology" showed that the combination of D3 and K2 can improve bone mineralization and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

Vitamin D3 for Strong Bones

Vitamin D helps build strong bones by increasing the body's absorption of calcium and phosphorus. In supplement form, it is available as ergocalciferol (D2) or cholecalciferol (D3). Studies indicate that D3 may be the more potent and longer-lasting form preferred by the body. According to a study published in the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition," D3 has been shown to be more effective than D2 in raising and maintaining vitamin D levels in the blood.

Vitamin K2 for Heart Health

Vitamin K2 is crucial for heart health as it helps prevent calcium buildup in the arteries, which can lead to cardiovascular diseases. A study published in "Thrombosis and Haemostasis" found that K2 can reduce the risk of coronary disease by preventing calcium deposition in the arteries. This makes K2 an important component in maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system.

Summary

Swanson Vitamins D3 & K2 is an effective combination for supporting both bone and heart health. With its lower doses of vitamins D and K, improved bioavailability through MK-7, and a convenient one-a-day capsule, it is a simple and effective way to complement your daily health routine. The vegan and allergen-friendly formulation makes it an excellent choice for everyone, regardless of dietary restrictions.
